Plumbing Contractor Vancouver WA | Call Legacy Plumbing and Excavation

It very likely is. In our area, overwhelmed storm drains and failing sump pumps are the top causes of basement flooding. Legacy can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the problem. We'll check if your exterior storm drains are blocked and need jetting or excavation, and test if your sump pump is working correctly or needs repair or a more powerful installation. Addressing both systems is key to keeping your Vancouver home dry.

Common signs include multiple slow drains, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard or home, and especially frequent blockages after heavy rain, as our saturated soil can shift pipes. If you notice soggy patches or sinkholes in your yard, it could indicate a broken sewer line. Legacy uses camera inspections to pinpoint the issue and offers both trenchless repair and full excavation-based replacement if needed to restore proper flow.

Many critical plumbing components—like main water lines, sewer pipes, and gas lines—are buried underground. When these fail or need installation, accessing them requires careful digging. For issues like a collapsed sewer line under your driveway or installing a new gas line for an outdoor kitchen, our in-house excavation team ensures the job is done precisely, safely, and efficiently, minimizing disruption to your property while solving the root cause of the problem.
